Instant noodles for lunch! budget budget! Already used 600RMB out of the 3000RMB i brought.

No bowls....soooo, make do with cups! Lucky we bought 2 spoons yesterday!


Finally washed our clothes todae. Spent quite long figuring out the washing machine. And washed the clothes twice!! Too much soap powder! Oops...

Went to rackey route to our workplace! SBA Stone Forest Corporate Advisory (Shanghai) Co. Nearest train station is 娄山关路站, abt 25min frm our place 龙阳路站. BUT its like super far walk frm the station!!

And 南 is south!! 北 is north!! I always thot its the opp way round!! Gosh, almost ganna lost..

Our workplace area quite 热闹. Got lotsa shopping centres. Its some 虹桥新开发区. Quite near the 虹桥机场, the airport for domestic flights.

Next went to Ikea (宜家家居) @ 上海体育馆站. Had to change train..quite mah fan, haf to walk rather far and up a few flights of stairs...



Quite grand entrance, got the moving round door like in hotels...


Ikea hot dog!! 3 rmb. Super long hot dog!

We bought 6 hotdogs back for our breakfast tmr...and kop-ed ketchup frm ikea in a cup! haas..



Saw the shanghai indoor stadium 上海体育馆. Next to it is the shanghai stadium 上海体育场. Quite grand, but couldn't go in.

Shanghai quite environmental friendly. Almost everywhere see their dustbins got divide between recyclable waste & other wastes. And no matter where they dun give plastic bags!! Arghhh!!




Housemate say we always go home in a super "cui" state!! All sweaty & tugging lotsa stuff home!

Todae, I was hugging the huge ikea bag, with hangers popping out. Housemate was hugging 6kg of peaches and the cui cup of ikea ketchup, trying hard not to spill it! Shagggggg...haas..

It’s 40°C todae!!

Went to police station this morning to make our temporary housing permit. After that, chen si’s dad’s fren’s driver brought us to this restaurant for some 西安特产 food.

Yummy Yum!

西安 food tend to have vinegar, which gives the food quite a refreshing taste!! Much much better than the soya sauce food commonly found here.


Liked the 木耳 dish the best! Next best is the 凉皮(a bit like the 刀削面with spicy sauce & vinegar). The 羊肉also very nice, much much nicer than those roadside 羊肉串. Yummy lunch and they have a chain store near our house! 外卖!!!



Went to 新世界城shopping center @ 人民广场站 in search of some office clothes for my housemates. But the clothes are not much cheaper than spore. Luckily i brought enough.

And 七折 actually means pay 70% of the price. I thot 七折 means 70% discount!! Direct translation to english mah. Arghh.

Super short me with yaoming's wax figure @ the wax museum ticket booth in 新世界城shopping center.

There was some performance outside the shopping center.


Then we walked along the 南京路步行街. Wanted to walk to the 外滩(bund) at end of 南京路步行街, but needed to catch the last train back. Argh, another day ba.


Trams along the 南京路步行街.

Our dinner @ yong tau foo style 麻辣烫.



Finally, some 小笼包!!

Suppose to suck the soup from the lil hole on top! Quite salty!! Tink just bite and eat the 包with the soup nicer..

This strawberry yoghurt drink is super nice!! Almost couldn't order it! Coz couldn't read the chinese name of yoghurt! lolx..

38°C todae!! Lazed around in the house this morning, before deciding we needed to brave the heat and get out of the house!!

Took the train to 上海新科技站 for lunch. China’s train station is very similar to Singapore.

Topping up our ez-link card.

Entering train station (Tap card like spore, then push the gate)

Inside the underground station. Black walls and dark tunnels look a lil bit scary.

2 types of trains (as shown on the green signboard: 6 cabin & 8 cabin) So don’t anyhow stand right at the end like spore, and have to chiong to the middle when the 6 cabin train comes!!

Train schedule (Accurate to the seconds!! Ok lar, the train usually reaches when shows abt 10-15seconds.)

Went to 上海亚太新阳服饰礼品市场 @ 上海新科技站. Many imitation goods there, with many shops previously from the famous Xiang Yang Market which has now closed down. But the things are rather expensive, about same price as spore.


We were too hungry to shop though. Searched around the上海亚太新阳服饰礼品市场, but could not find any food place other than a restaurant and KFC.

My lunch: Zinger meal with a super duper nice Summer Drink!! (Its some ice-cream float in sprite & aloe vera with a bit of lime taste. Forgot the name though. Chinese words are so hard to remember :S)

After lunch, we went to 世纪广场 (Century Square) which was just nearby. And we were super roasted!!

Me and my roomie (Pei Lin) @世纪广场



Walked along this bridge linking世纪广场 to 世纪公园.

Dried up pond!

Me and fellow intern, Chen Si @ the end of the bridge. 世纪公园 (the trees & lake) in the background.


Next, we took train to 世纪大道站 in search of some nice shopping places. We kinda got lost. Saw many computer malls, like sim lim square. After walking super long, we finally found a departmental store 八百半, which is like taka, and the things are just as expensive as spore. Found some nice food malls nearby too.

Taking pictures to record down 外卖 contacts. But most of the 外卖 don't deliver so far. Even from 上海新科技站 which is only 2 train stops away, they also don't deliver (maybe its very far for them using bicycles). Arghhh...deprived of food @ our ulu long yang home.


At night, some smu students (who have been in shanghai for 3 months already) brought us out to 夜市. We took train to a quite far station 耀华路站.

Interesting! Bin for the explosives @ 耀华路站. The lid is rather heavy.

Recording the last train timings, some of which are like super early @ 9 plus!!

From 耀华路站, we walked to the 夜市, which i forgot the name again!! Many small roadside stalls. Rather 热闹.

But then got police come to chase the stalls away. And very quickly, suddenly, the streets become super empty!!

Some food stalls along the way.

Had our dinner @ this 大排档 at one of the small roads nearby. Can pick the raw food on the table and the chef will cook it.

Our first 2 dishes 冷菜(毛豆 and some wierd chicken stuff/intestine?? recommended by the chef. Hope we dun lao sai tmr! But that weird chicken stuff tasted rather nice.)

Ordered a total of 8 dishes for 7 pple, which cost slightly less than 100RMB. Finally, we had a cheap & nice dinner!! The most satisfying meal we had since we arrived in shanghai. The 2 nicest dishes was the 皮蛋豆腐 and the spicy 三成肉.

We were eating halfway, then they suddenly switch off all the lights!! Coz the police were driving past the main road, and that illegally setup roadside stall wanted to avoid being found.



After dinner, we cabbed to 吴江路美食街 near 南京西路.


Real tree in this shop!! Shop was built around this tree! Tried the 招牌芒果沙冰, which is very nice with sago inside!

Very very nice dumplings from this stall!! Seems a bit like 汤包. Tasty soup inside the dumpling. Had quite a hard time trying not to spill the soup.

Learnt that 两actually means 4 pieces of dumplings. I thot it meant 2 onli!

Nice barbeque stuff (eg. 肉串)at this stall, but we were already too full to really try out the food.


Opposite this 吴江路美食街 is the 吴江路休闲街(Wujiang pedestrial street) with many shops, but were long closed by the time we reached.

It's been a long day out! Time to catch some slp...Nitex...

In Shanghai!! The new home until 28th Dec.

Thanks phoenix for sending me off (and missing the last train). Thanks for the photos!! (which is currently sitting on my small bedside table)



I got the window seat on the plane! From above, the land look so flat, very lighted, and the sea is like so vast surrounding the smaller land. Said final goodbye to spore. Hmm…it felt weird, not scared/worried but rather the “excited going for short holiday” feeling. Maybe it hasn’t hit me yet.

Arrived @ Shanghai Pudong Airport, Terminal 2 early this morn around 6.30am. It was pretty cold, around 27°C (so different from the killer heat during daytime).

The school arranged shuttle bus to bring us to the GIP Shanghai Office, where we had briefing-cum-breakfast. Breakfast was soya bean milk, 饺子, 糯米饭stick with 油条and pork floss inside (quite nice but quite dry).

From there, our housing agents brought us to our apartments. A total of 3 groups (including us) engaged SenS housing agent, 1 in puxi (陆家浜) and 2 in 浦东(隆洋). The first drop-off point was puxi (陆家浜), so we had the chance to see puxi. Crossed the 南浦大桥 (above the 黄埔江) from pudong to puxi. This is the only bridge linking pudong and puxi, the other 5 links are all tunnels. Managed to see a rather good view of parts of puxi, but could not see too far because of the rather strong mist from the air pollution.

陆家浜 seems like a very happening place, so many small eating places, shopping centers, banks, etc…Quite big difference in the houses, high rise condominums on one side of the road and very very run down 2-3 storey houses on the other side.

隆洋 (where we stay) is a more quiet residential area. Quite happy with our house, its quite big and considered quite clean. No view though, coz we staying on the 1st floor. Luckily we didn’t get the other house, the other grp in long yang has to climb 6 stories everyday!! Coz they stay on the 6th storey with no lift.

Not much eating places nearby, mostly restaurants, no 小笼包 and cheap food. Settled our lunch at a nearby restaurant, with coca-cola flavoured chicken wings (couldn’t really taste the coke), some fatty pork with 梅菜(which is super nice!! The pork taste like those in the dumplings in spore), some vegetable in soya sauce (which came in long crunchy stem with almost no leaf!! We were like shocked!!) and corn rice for a total of 25 RMB.

The heat during the day was just killing us. So we da bao-ed our pizza dinner straight after lunch and spent the afternoon lazing around in our air-con house watching the Beijing Olympics on TV and napping.

Walked to the METRO supermarket and bought lotsa stuff (pillows, bedsheet, towel, cups, hangers, water filter, etc.). They dun give plastic bags!! Felt like sandbag training, carrying the stuff back in a recyclable bag.

We spent quite a while fixing the water filter for the water dispenser in the house. Trying to understand the manual in Chinese!


Fixing water filter in progress



Filter is working!!

Just got back frm cycling again~ yayyyyyyy~ todae was fun~

Cycled to chinese gardens, the park is really nice, but too bad tiga doggie not allowed inside….bicycles also not allowed, kaoz…so unfriendly park, thot parks are meant for pple to enjoy and wads wrong wif cycling in a park…anws, we cycled outside the park and got connected to another park…

Cycled until the end, then realised we reached tamah jurong superbowl…so went to dabao dinner… coz wif tiga doggie can’t sit down & eat there…lots of nice food there…yong tau foo looks gd, but veri inconvenient to dabao…there’s this yummy chicken wings rice, very worth it also, $2.50 and they haf a bit of coleslaw, 2 drumsticks & 2 chicken wings, am not a fan of chicken wings, and usually don’t eat chicken wings at all, but this stall’s chicken wing is really nice, coz I ate 1 drumstick & 1 chicken wing…haas…

my dad picked a nice spot by the lake….so we parked our bicycles, and sat on a bench, facing the lake and golf course, and munched on our food, nice!…tiga doggie was too busy eyeing our food, tt he missed out on the view…haas…

on the way back, stopped by imm to buy honeydew sago bubble tea…the clementi one closed down…so had to detour to imm….but worth the detour…cycling trip never feels complete without bubble tea =)

Back frm cycling again~ childhood fav hobby & still is....

Had ost training todae….but decided not to go…shoot me…shd haf gone…but din wanna go alone…pple like rosemary & yunru would agree tt yea I’m not veri independent, coz I always make them do things wif me, haas…okok…guilt-ridden, really shd haf gone…nvm, nxt training is sat…

Went swimming instead…long time since I last swam, excluding the play play swim sessions during training, its been almost a year since I last swam…brings back fond memories seeing children having swimming training…definitely one of my regrets in life to quit competitive swimming, though I wasn’t the one who made tt decision, argh…those were the fun times, even had swimming camps where we would swim 3 times a day, having to bathe at least 3 times a day, barbequing dinner by the pool, going to play some laser shooting game, din noe wad tt game’s called, but it was damn fun, and the laser gun was damn heavy, making it super diff to run around with the laser gun…everytime I see children having swimming training, can’t help but look on wif envy…also the reason why I like watching swimming competitions…

same for gymnastics…yet another regret in life…todae's newspaper toked abt gymnastics...argh, always makes me tink back to tt silly mistake of quiting coz of an ankle prob, back then it was realli quite bad, a few mins in aircon can kill, but now my ankle is total opp, will not be sprain no matter wad...but those are probably the onli fun times i remember frm pri sch...doing cartwheels, fav handstands, trying to jump over as high the board as possible, using the sofa at home to practise jumping over :), getting to stand on top of a mini pyramid b4 i became too heavy & had to be one of the bases, doing those 2 person forwardrolls...those days were realli fun...

okaes, enuf of regrets....Time waits for no man…live the life u wan…

Nitex~

Finally, exams ended….dun dare to look at my results for this sem…tink its gonna be real bad…almost all subj are 40-50% coursework…& my projects & quizzes were quite bad this sem…exams were worse…

started off with 202 (transfer pricing qn super long, but I onli wrote a bit, din even tok abt the diff transfer pricing methods, argghhhh…..2nd qn was on incentives, but like nv really learn tt topic, so juz anyhow crap a bit….3rd qn was game theory, my fav topic, but I gt stunned, confused over higher bid or lower bid win, shucks, dunnoe whether payoffs correct anot)…

then the 3 consecutive days of exams (afternoon, morn, morn)….shagg…bf307 come out so many qns on the rules for margin requirements, I purposely skipped tt part!! Thinking tt rules not veri impt, argghhhh….then muz justify ans, dunnoe wad to write…favourite topic of binomial model came out, but I freaking shit press calculator wrongly, then the binomial tree cannot recombine!! But I noe the formula, shucks, shd haf juz written down the formula, waste 15marks for nth!! My fav topic & the onli topic tt I’m sure of…sighs….big big disappointment….

201 gt tax again, thot tax over liao, 201 still gt deferred tax….but I skipped tt whole part….didn’t even attempt, coz no time, & I dunnoe how to do, so take super long to figure out, so I juz skip first, in the end also no time to come back….bye to 20 plus marks for qn 3...& gt no time to finish the paper….the customer loyalty programme for last qn, last topic tt I looked at b4 sleeping the nite b4 exam, but no time to write finish, arrghhhhhh…..

205 was like shit, I tink can whole paper out of point!!! How how….damn scared for 205…couldn’t identify enough risk events, and the risk events I identify also not specific to the case, didn’t write abt corporate governance at all, when everyone like toking abt tt, dunnoe wad sound practices the qn asking for, dunnoe how to identify the weaknesses & strengths, I juz anyhow write something….arghhhh….damn screwed….

Then finally 213 todae…took 1 hr juz to draw the flowcharts, then started panicking coz no time for the remaining 3 qns…din noe how to draw the rea model for expenditure cycle, onli read abt the revenue cycle, so I juz copied the rea model & tables frm the textbook, hope can use, anw didn’t have time to think….onli left less than 1 hr for 3 qns….didn’t complete, didn’t write any threats for the revenue & expenditure cycle at all, even though juz need to copy from the tb, argghhhh….& I freaking shit forgot all abt implementation, even though I spent quite long on tt topic, totally forgt abt testing, user involvement, etc….argghhhh, whole last qn out of point liao….din noe wad advice for outsourcing they wan!!! 10marks left blanks….shucks….

Shucks…so freaking screwed….its not onli one but all also so bad…doesn’t help tt my coursework is also bad for this sem…shucks…dun wanna noe my results….hope it’ll be ok….pls pls…but I seriously doubt so….how……..& 214 I tink can get F already…sighs….if the prof is nice, maybe she’ll gimme a C at most….sighs….

Whacked abt 80 balls at SICC golf range after training todae…yea, right after training…my dad’s quite insane….

Almost 1 yr since I last played golf. Revived love for golf.

Surprisingly, I could still play. Started off with 7 iron, 5 wood, 5 iron….then I khopped my dad’s “like iron” wood. I like that “like iron” wood. Somehow, tt’s the only club that I can hit and feel so shuang, especially when hear the sound of nice connection with the golf ball, and then feel that it’s a gd shot. Yay!~

And I could still hit 120m. But in pri 6, could hit 150m quite easily. Gahhhh, last time had better feel, could connect and transfer power to the golf ball more naturally. Oh wells, come jul when turn 21, will not be able to use the club membership to play golf liao. Hmmm…maybe shall go play on actual golf course after exams and b4 trainings start….

Went to lixian’s 21st party todae. Hope she enjoyed herself. She’s really quite a strong girl, after all tt she’s been thru. Always hear her “lai-ah” during trainings, sometimes when running or even while studying, that “lai-ah” will play in my mind. Hope she stays happy & strong. I believe she will.

Sianzzz…201 report in such a mess, see already dun feel like doing…argh, better start…

Didn’t realised it until gekling told me. And then it hit me. Heart. But it’s a trade-off. No regrets.

A great one todae.

I’m so happy for my buddy. 13.16 she did for 2.4. Well done buddy.

And todae I managed to up weights. Like finally. Its been stagnant for weeks. Demoralising. But todae, it juz came. 1st set 10kg. 2nd set 11kg. 3rd set 12kg. Yay!~

Tabatta’s gd too. Short & effective.

Trainings getting better. No more rockbottom. Phoenix is gg up.

Heart. Let it be a gd one. No regrets.

And liting is making me so excited abt gip china. Haas. To Mongolia to ride horses & carmels, to Harbin, etc. I can’t wait.

Heart.

NAF closing todae. I think it was very well done. The location was very good, no worries of lack of crowd, didn’t cross my mind before to haf event at linkway. The concept was also quite good, displaying info abt NAF history and events, and I liked the art displays. Another good idea was making pple answer a simple qn before giving them the free goodie bag, like that we don’t give out free goodie bag for no reason. Even if they got the ans wrong, at least pple will realise what does naf stand for, whats the theme of naf or how long naf has been around.

Yup yup, I feel that this year’s naf is really very good. Opening ceremony was good (especially the grand opening), vday carnival was gd too (with the costume photoshoot idea, onli prob is not enuf publicity), closing ceremony was gd too, all good. But but this year naf so much more xiong, 3 times of 2 day events, creating 3 weeks of sleep havoc in a 13wk sem. No more naf, muz keep myself far far away frm cac nxt year. Though its quite fun, not onli the biz mag part but also in helping out with event day itself, but too much commitment required. But still I tink I’ll miss the fun.

Hate it when the tables in the seminar room are arranged into groups. Go too early, sit at a group of table, and no one else will sit at the same table. Go too late, dunnoe which table I can sit, everybody sitting with their frens in groups. Oh wells, am such a loner in class. Loners like me prefer arrangement of long rows of table so that loner don’t stand out so much. Sighs…dun really care…used to it…

Sunday, March 16, 2008

Thursday, March 13, 2008

Realli needa start sorting things out….haiz….

Okok, everyone’s gg thru the same, so I shan’t complain abt it….still surviving, after 32 hrs of no slp (except for zzz in class) & surviving without lunch & dinner (amazingly conquered the hunger), but luckily there’s still the toast machine when everything else is closed! But soyabean sold out from 2 machines, argh, too lazy to find a 3rd machine…anw, am surviving, I juz needa hear the alarm tmr morn….

Juz got back & I haven prepare script for tmr’s presentation….haiz…neither have I touched 205 project since last meeting…okaes, one by one, bit by bit, it’ll be ok….I juz needa prep the script & faster go zzzzz, tmr morn gt presentation, cannot afford not to hear the alarm….always major oversleep if the night b4 din zzz, but but tmr I’ll hear the alarm…it’s a must….

Can't help but feel irritated, when u're so worried abt ure presentation and projects and pple can be happily joking away, not tt there's anything wrong wif tt, the wrong's in me....but i tried not to spoil the mood...afterall, it's my own fault everything's in such a mess now....

Thursday, March 06, 2008

I slept at ard 7.30pm last nite!! And I only awoke to my alarm clock at 7.15am. Heng I remembered to set alarm b4 dozing off. It was an unintentional extremely long sleep, tink I was too tired frm tue nite's no slp chiong IT project, I fell asleep b4 collecting my washed clothes frm the washing machine, & someone dumped it into a paper bag on the floor, argh! Either the person din see my pail there or is juz plain irritating to dump my clean clothes in a dirty paper bag on the floor….

But I was still tired by the 2nd class at 10.30am….haas, am such a pig…could barely type properly after lunch, so I went to zzzz again for abt 2hrs….haha…shucks, I need to learn to survive sleeping less…

Anyways, was in a quite gd mood this evening, coz I managed to sort out tmr’s 201 presentation before training, thks to pok’s ans otherwise it was quite a headache trying to figure out what is going on. Shucks, I tink I’m really damn stupid, I didn’t even know how to start answering the qn. Shucks, my studies is like damn screwed up now. Really needa start catching up wif my studies, it's march already, but first gotta settle all the projects stuff first.

Todae we had long and slow team run, okaes not really that long and slow, I thought we would have continued running towards biological sci slope instead of turning into near hall 16, and that was one long slope, but the pace up the slope was rather slow.

Stoning…

After all the mad rush for the past few days….haiz…nth seems to be fine…really needa stop screwing up all my presentations & quizzes…& I needa stop sleeping during class…arghhh….

I got a new lappie, at long last. =) My old laptop was quite useless, couldn’t connect to wireless and couldn’t operate without power plug, so always cannot bring my laptop for project meetings. Luckily got my new lappie, so can mad rush IT last night camping over in school.

After the mad rush ended juz an hr ago, am feeling rather lost…needa reorganise…for tonite, I guess I juz wanna read 202 project for tmr & sleep early, wake up early and be early for class tmr…always have problem hearing the alarm the next morning if the night before I didn’t sleep…quite scary, I’ll hear the alarm tmr morn…
